Yellerkin - Solar Laws



Made up by two lifelong friends from Brooklyn, Yellerkin is a rising indie band that is sure to spark your interest. Whether it be by the ever chancing pace in Solar Laws, which almost make it seem like the music is taking a pause to catch its breath before the drums crash back in and it's on the move again. Or maybe it's just how the vocals and language switch between soft and low to bold and high in a matter of moments. Or perhaps just their eerie music video featuring a yeti and what can only be described as a witch doctor that bares some resemblance to Rafiki from "The Lion King." Either way, Solar Laws is a journey that takes the listener into the space between, where only you have say over reality and dream, which makes this tune something to talk about.

Zella Day- Sweet Ophelia



Sweet Ophelia opens with a heavy almost hip-hop beat meshed with sweet organ tones that trick you into expecting something opposite of the Lana Del Ray resembling verse that follows. Zella Day has a dreamy quality to her hushed vocals that cause this song to feel secretive and the taps of xylophone tie in a whimsy that helps add to the story building within the music. It is both engaging and seducing, which makes for something unforgettable.

Rixton - Me and My Broken Heart



Me and My Broken Heart is already hitting mainstream, but with its smooth modern pop vibe, it's too catchy not to notice. Rixon has a sound, much like artists like Adam Levine, that immediately snags your attention. The vocals bridge indie and boy band, making it dynamic and pleasing to different types of music lovers. It's not only dancy, but it also has a hook that you'll sing for days, with harmonies that are just damn good.
